I really enjoyed painting Emma. Rachael is her pet mom and was kind enough to share this photo. In fact, Rachael is pet mom to 3 cats in this series...the other two girls coming up soon. I have found this project to be so very rewarding! I get to see these animals, paint them...and play with color and brush strokes. I have learned so much about painting through this process. I appreciate every single contributant!

You can find frames like this floater frame at pictureframes.com (the painting looks like it is floating inside the frame) (all sides and edges show!) . Just type in floater frames and you can see all the choices. The price is good...for these it is $26.40. I'm not too fond of shipping which is $16.95 for one frame...however, it is still a bargain...and MOST of the time this site has a sale going...so you can get a little off! Framing these portraits is easy...just cut a piece of cardboard the size of the bottom section...glue a small piece of 1/4" wood in the middle...glue the painting on and voila` you are done!!
